Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

After saying that, Eric immediately turned around and left the study.

At this moment, the people watching the show could no longer hold back.

"I'm not saying anything, but what you said just now really scared me. Aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy by doing this?" Kailin came to Li Xueqi and said angrily.

Li Xueqi looked towards the door until the footsteps faded away and Rosalia nodded in front of the door before she smiled slightly and said, "Really? But how does Miss Kailin know that I didn't do it on purpose?"

"Huh?" Kailin was confused.

At this time, Zi Xuan walked aside and asked, "What is your purpose in doing this?"

"It's simple, just like you said, we'll alert the enemy." Li Xueqi replied, "After this incident, he'll definitely be on guard, but given your identities, he won't act rashly. If he's the spy, he'll definitely take some actions in secret to prevent you from finding evidence, and it's inevitable that he'll be exposed. If not, it will still deter his subordinates, and then we'll have the same effect."

"I see. But aren't you afraid that Eric will risk everything?" Tianlang asked.

Li Xueqi smiled softly and said, "I admit that there was an element of gambling in this, but I wouldn't have done it without complete preparation."

"Do you have any other preparations?" Karen asked.

"That's right, in addition to the guards in Chicheng, I also have a special force in my hands!" Li Xueqi said with a forced smile.

"Special forces?" Everyone was puzzled, but did not ask further.

After leaving the Blood Princess City and separating from Tianlang, the four of them went to the city in groups of two under the pretext of checking the city defenses and investigating the city gates. They went around in a circle and questioned almost everyone, but in the end they had no clues. Helplessly, they had to return empty-handed.

The four of them met at the hotel and explained the results of their investigations to each other...

"This guy is too patient. We took a walk around and everything in the city was almost the same as usual." Karen complained.

Zi Xuan adjusted her glasses and said, "This is also to be expected. After all, we have just started the operation. Even if Eric wanted to take action, he couldn't do it openly."

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Indeed, and don't forget that most of the troops in the city obey his orders. So even if something happens, it would be easy to conceal it with his power."

"Then wouldn't we be running around like headless flies?" Karen said with her hands spread out.

"It's hard to say." Mo Yan folded his arms and said, "The city may not have the clues we're looking for, but there's definitely one place that has them."

"What?" Kailin asked.

"Eric's mansion." At this moment, Mo Yan put down his hands and spoke.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Zixuan lowered her head and thought, "No matter how cunning he is, he must establish contact with the rebels inside and outside the city in order to cooperate closely. If we can find a letter or a magic prop for long-distance communication..."

At this time, Zhao Heng stood up and said, "Let's go. If we go now, we might find something unexpected."

"Ah? Just go through with such a fuss?" Karen was a little stunned.

"Of course not," Mo Yan said. "Eric is a smart man. If he's the spy, he'll definitely think we're going to raid his mansion. So we have to split up. Zhao Heng and I will be in charge of the nominal search, while Kailin and Zixuan will sneak in after we get in. Then, one will be in the open, the other in the dark..."

"I see, that's a good idea, let's do it quickly!"

"Yeah!" The three of them nodded in response.

……

Outside Eric's mansion, Mo Yan and Zhao Heng straightened their clothes, while Kailin and Zixuan put on invisibility cloaks.

Everything was ready, and the two arrived at the door of the mansion.

"Excuse me, is Earl Eric here?" Mo Yan asked the guard at the door.

"Of course, may I ask who you two are?" the guard nodded and then asked.

"We are officials sent by Lady Blood Princess. We heard that there are rebel gangs of the Sanu people in the residence of Lord Earl Eric, so we came to investigate." Zhao Heng pretended to be polite, especially with that serious and fierce look in his eyes, he really was worthy of being a working person.

At this moment, the guards panicked when they heard what the other party said.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go find Lord Eric!"

The guard tried to rush into the mansion, but Zhao Heng did not give him a chance.

"No need for that. This is an urgent matter. If you have any opinions, please go and explain them to Lady Blood Princess!"

Bah!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Heng took Mo Yan and rushed into the mansion. At this time, Eric might have heard the noise, as he had already gone downstairs to the hall.

"What's going on?" he asked, looking towards the hall.

When the guard at the gate saw Eric, he ran to his side without thinking.

"Master Eric, these two men insisted on breaking in and said there were undercover Sanu people in your house. I wanted to stop them but I couldn't."

Eric looked at the guards around him, then looked at Zhao Heng.

"Oh, it's you two. Do you suspect that there is a traitor in my house that you are looking for?" He smiled calmly.

"It's not suspicion, but news." Zhao Heng said seriously.

"Really? So there's no evidence at all. Humph, please allow me to be frank. Doesn't what you're doing count as your right?" Eric said, folding his arms. "Yes, you're friends of Lady Blood Princess and Lady Moon Saint, so I respect you. But that doesn't mean I have to obey you in everything."

"Count Eric, I understand how you feel now, but don't forget that we are also entrusted by Miss Blood Princess. If you stop us, I'm afraid you will be suspected." Zhao Heng replied.

Eric sneered. "Oh, really? You don't need to use Lady Blood Princess to pressure me. Your reckless entry into my residence today is already trespassing. You're saying there are spies from the Sanu and Fallen Angel Troupe here, right? Fine, then I'll cooperate with your investigation. But let me be clear: if we can find out, I won't say anything. But if not, this isn't a place where anyone can act recklessly!"

"No problem." Zhao Heng stepped forward and said, "If we can't find anything, the two of us are willing to go with you to the Blood Princess to confess our crimes!"

"Wow, that's great!" Eric said, lowering his hands. He then looked at his guards and said, "The rest of you should just follow these two divine messengers. This way, they won't get lost in my mansion."

"Yes, Lord Earl!"

As soon as the words fell, the guards followed Zhao Heng and Mo Yan into the mansion to search. Before leaving, Mo Yan glanced at the door and waved gently.

"Huh? What's wrong?" the guard asked Mo Yan.

"It's nothing, just a mosquito. Let's go." Mo Yan spread his hands and then went upstairs.

At this moment, the gate of the mansion was open, and there was no one in front of it. Zixuan and Kailin easily sneaked in with their invisibility cloaks.
